Secrets, treachery and insurgence … when rebels threaten the star cruiser Atria, can star-crossed lovers triumph over a menacing conspiracy?
During the evacuation of the Wheel at Meridiana, Nazif Atria meets a girl with whom he seems to have everything in common. But when her true identity comes to light, he is forced to question her motives. Does she really care for him, or is she just trying to use him to infiltrate his ship’s command crew?
She thinks of herself as Jiazelle, but it isn’t her real name. Trapped from birth in a nightmare, she has only one chance to escape from her domineering father. She must confess her sins to Nazif and hope he can find the key to free her from the chains that bind her.
With the dissidents growing bolder, Naz and his fellow crew members race against time to thwart the plot to commandeer the Atria and seize control of the fleet. To do so, they must unravel the trap that’s preventing Jiazelle from saving them all.
